Nigerian Police Force speak on allegation against IGP

IGP Adamu Mohammed IGP Adamu Mohammed

The Nigerian Police Force has denied an allegation levelled against the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Adamu Mohammed.

An online platform had published: ‘Exclusive: How Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Adamu, Illegally Raised Millions of Naira for Construction of Training School in Nasarawa’.

In reaction, Police spokesman, Frank Mba described the report as a design "to blackmail and impugn the credibility of strategic leaders of the country in an apparent attempt to advance their ignoble and unpatriotic intentions.”

Mba also revealed that the training school was built with the support gotten from the corporate partners and the Nasarawa State Government.

“Also, the insinuation that the IGP sited the facility ‘in his hometown of Endehu in Nasarawa State’, is also utterly misleading,” Mba said.

“For the avoidance of doubts, Endehu is not the hometown of IGP Adamu. He is, on the contrary, from Lafia.”

Mba added that the police have “instructed its legal team to initiate legal actions against” the online publication over what it sees as “the defamatory and libelous components of the report.”
